- 5 removable Tungsten weights reduce the stock handle bias and let you adjust the balance on the Nabalis Vulp Trainer to fit your preference. 3 weights along spine make stickier chaplins and less wobbly fans. 2 weights along "cutting edge" add extra tip weight for a more neutral balance and ensure a good balance when using Slim Caps.
- The weights can be popped out with a pointy rigid object. The weights can be popped in with your thumb.
- Fits perfectly with an "edge lip" so it won't fall out on hard drops.
- Made of shatter-proof rubbery polyurethane.
- The Zippy Insert Mod adds 0.166 oz with all 5 weights, bringing the Vulp weight from 3.87 oz to 4.036 oz.
- Add Zippy Slim Caps for only $5 (30% Discount) to protect the handles of the Vulp. The slim caps add an additional 0.085 oz and bring the total weight up to 4.121 oz.
Assembly Instructions
Product Description
Adjust the balance of your Nabalis Vulp balisong trainer with this custom-made Zippy blade insert. The insert houses 5 removable tungsten weights which enable the Vulp trainer to have a more neutral (less handle biased) balance profile.
Features
Recommended Balance Configurations:
With handle caps: 3-5 weights overall. User's preference.
Without handle caps: 3 weights on the spine and 0 weights in the edge insert.
Why?
The core of the mod is the 3-ball spine insert.
The Bowie shape of the blade creates a lot of forward weight because the spine weight is close to the tang. The 3 weights in the spine insert evens out the weight distribution of the blade to make the balance more neutral. It also makes chaplins more controlled and fans less wobbly.
The 2 "cutting edge" weights are optional. They are for people who either want to experiment with more tip weight or to balance out the weight when using Zippy Slim Caps or Zippy Weight Caps.

International Shipping
Zippy ships international, but the buyer accepts the risk for lost, damaged, or seized packages-it is the customer's responsibility to comply with all local laws and regulations when importing and using this product. It is the customer's responsibilities to be aware of all import requirements when ordering, including but not limited to paying customs/import/duty fees. All international customers: it is your responsibility to looking up your country's customs requirements when you order to ensure you are in compliance, and interface with your country's customs and pay all associated fees if necessary.
For EU customers, be advised that customs will apply a VAT fee of approximately 30€ for importing products that exceed 100€. This is subject to change depending on up-to-date EU regulations; it is the customer's responsibility to verify this at the time of your purchase.
For questions and concerns (looking at you, Aussies), please contact me at zippybalisong@gmail.com. If the Zippy is shipped in 2 packages, you will need to assemble the trainer following these instructions:
My package hasn't arrived, or my package is lost; what should I do?
Noooooo! Don't panic yet. So far I've never actually had a package get lost in the mail, although delays with USPS aren't unheard of, especially if the shipping is international. If you're a US-customer and your package is lost in the mail, appears lost in the mail, or was marked delivered but wasn't actually delivered, call the USPS immediately (1-800-275-8777)**. The faster they get on the case, the more likely you'll reach a timely resolution and get your Zippy ASAP. You can email me about it, but once I ship it out, I don't have access to any additional information that you don't--I'm just going to refer you to call the shipping carrier for resolution.
If you are an international customer and your package hasn't arrived yet, contact your local postal service that interfaces with USPS to evaluate the situation--worst case scenario you may need to reach out to customs to see if your package made it through or was seized. It is the customer's responsibility to comply with all local laws and regulations when importing my products.
Hopefully your package is just delayed (this has always been the case historically when a package appears lost), but if it is actually lost in the mail, I'm very sorry. Believe it or not, it's just as heartbreaking for me as it is for you, since I make every balisong myself and put a lot of love into each one. Unfortunately, I am unable to take responsibility for packages that get lost in the mail (or seized by customs). I offer a variety of shipping options which have different levels of pricing and reliability/risk, and it's up to you to choose what is best for you. I am unable to replace lost packages for free, since each product takes me a considerable amount of time and financial investment to make; I'm not a big Amazon company that manufactures their stuff overseas. Thank you for understanding.
